TechnologyNEXT (virtual)

Have you ever wished you could know the future? What if you could create it? We are standing in the face of the largest forced experience in human history. Everything we believe about work and technology is shifting. As the head of leadership, learning and talent transformation at Steelcase, Jill Dark knows how to harness disruption and turn it into value. Experiences shift mindsets, beliefs and behaviors. But did you know that you can build experiences that ultimately shape the future. Join us as we explore the concept of applied futures, hear what Steelcase learned from building its own internal gig economy and understand how to harness the value in the current global landscape.
 
“We may not be able to predict the future, but we can certainly create the conditions to bend it.”, says Jill Dark.  
 
Join us for TechnologyNEXT where we explore Talent and Technology: How to bend the future.
